I made this video for a contest. Its my first time ever making and editing a video like this. Whoever gets the most views wins the contest so help a brother and while checking out my AR in action. I left the specs to the AR in the description. I didnt have much time to make it so this is all I could think of doing. MODS, if this violates in COC rules feel free to move and IM me so I know, thanks. Here is the link. And yes somehow I misspelled berm…lol. FYI- I did not make this to prove that I am an above average shooter. I just made it to generate views to win my wife that ring. Then she will have a ring worth more than my rifle ( yes, she has observed that and has brought it to my attention…).
AWESOME WORK GUYS! WE HIT 1,000 VIEWS LAST NIGHT AND NOW WE ARE AT 1,500! THE GUY THAT I NEED TO BEAT HAS HAD HIS VIDEO UP FOR A FEW WEEKS AND IS AT 7,500 VIEWS. I HAVE TILL THE 28TH TO BEAT HIM. PLEASE DO NOT LET ME GET BEAT BY A GUY THAT WEARS SKINNY JEANS…
Very nice, I’ve never heard of someone using a rifle to legally get a ring for their wife, way cool. So how do you win? Is it by total post count? Anyway, cool video, but since this is a weapon forum I think you should post photos and specs of the rifle a well.
Fair enough! I cant post pics from work but I will tonight!
The load was 75gr BTHP load I worked up for it using win brass and RL-15 powder.
Specs:
Noveske 16" barrel
Larue Receiver
Larue 13.2 Rail
Nightforce 2.5-10x32 with NP-R2 reticle (MOA/MOA)
Trigicon red dot on top of the NF (4 MOA dot, should have went bigger)
Larue SPR mount. Its the 1.93 one, sits a little lower
LMT lower
Geissele Hi-Speed Trigger
LMT SOPMOD
JP BC with ION BOND finish
MIAD grip
H-Buffer
AAC M41000 suppressor
Larue FUG
Larue sling
Yeah the suppressor helps accuracy on this rifle. Havnt seen a can that hurt accuracy yet that was made right.
Yes I did paint the rifle. I used Duracoat and pine needles for stencils. Thanks for the views guys. I dont do a lot of posting on here. Just reading.
Negative, they typically improve accuracy. What you may be thinking of is POI shift when the suppressor is attached if you initially BZO’d without the can (with some cans). But if the weapon is BZO’d with the suppressor attached, which I would definitely do for this shot (and confirm multiple times:D), then you’re good to go.
@ saryan,
Really cool video, man! If you were just shooting through a ring for the hell of it, then it wouldn’t be near as cool. But given the fact that the wife could be getting some nice bling, it’s pretty friggin’ cool! My wife might finally support my shooting passion if I won her a ring with it:p
That’s a VERY nice carbine you’re shooting as well, man!
Thanks bro. Took my a while to build it as you can tell. My younger bro is 03/52 btw so Semper Fi back at you from him.
@chicagotex, Go to snipershide.com and look around that forum. Most of the competitive long range shooters use suppressors. Last few matches I have been to have been won by guys using cans on there rigs.
Groups open up with KAC cans. I’ve been listening to the gnashing of teeth from MARSOC and other elements that use the current-gen SOPMOD kits for over a year, now. Those poor guys reeeaaaally miss their Surefires.
AAC and Surefire cans effectively add barrel length, so groups tend to either stay the same or shrink vs. with a can not mounted.
Other then the fact that I don’t agree with you that diamonds and shooting have nothing in common it was an interesting video. Good job editing, and with the effects.
I haven’t heard that, but I also haven’t followed it whatsoever. The KAC QDSS 5.56 can is durable as hell though. When Chris Costa let me mount his on my SBR with triple tap suppressor attachment, he was telling me that he was blown away by the punishment that it has sustained since he’s had it, and that a month before at the AAC Silencer Shoot, Trey Knight (I think) fired an uninterrupted 200-round drum through Chris’ KAC can with their M249 SAW. Not to mention that particular can is constantly used in carbine courses and other training by Chris and whoever else is instructing with him during that particular course.
Since I’ve got 2 triple taps, I plan on buying the KAC can one of these days, just need to get the $$$ for it. Plus I just recently bought the Surefire 556K can, so it’ll probably be a while before I get the QDSS.
@saryan, tell your bro I said Semper Fi’ and Get Some!!
I didn’t address durability because it wasn’t initially brought up, but it’s not a gripe I’ve heard from anybody, either. Nor any gripes regarding sound supression.
Discussions I’ve had and examples I’ve seen all revolved strictly around how the KAC issued cans affect accuracy vs. without the can. It’s not like they make it so one would have trouble hitting Gabriel Iglesias in his food-blister ass, though. Incremental, to be sure, but a notable, easily replicated trend.
Hey bud. Nice (very nice AR), and I really like your passion for the sport of shooting, especially with the used platform! Nice rifle and ,if the video is true, nice job of putting 'em down range!
, good luck in the contest
